Currently overclocked to ~2.8GHz and running 54ºC with very low CPU usage. For a while I was running overclocked to almost 3.3GHz with a bunch of voltage. Had some instability, checked load temperature and was over 85ºC :Q Yeah, yeah, I know that my mobo supposedly reports temps that are too high, but that was supposedly fixed with a BIOS update.
My system was a slightly overclocked 2.6C with my 120mm case fan and the Zalman HSF undervolted. Nice quiet and fast system. I built a system for my GF and decided to give her the 2.6C. I got myself the 2.4A as an "interim" processor to get me by for a while. Well, now I'm having to run the fans at full speed and my system is slower, plus without HyperThreading I can feel those CPU cycles that the bittorrents pull.
